"The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery was not globally banned, but it's publication in France was delayed and the author's works were banned by the Vichy regime during WWII because of the author's anti-collaborationist stance. He was exiled and his book, written in the US, only saw publication in his native France after the war and his death.
Banning of books and silencing of resistance is NOT NEW.
